Customer Reviews

A Must Have Digital Photography Book
As in all of Scott Kelby's books; Scott again brings forward in a very humorous manner, the essentials of digital photography. Although Scott brings out his biases about cameras and techniques, one can use this book in any situation.

Great Info...and Humor
Unlike a previous review, I liked the humor. Reading a dull, 'school book' is not my thing. You can learn a lot from this book and not fall asleep doing it. I have read several of Scott's books and like them all BECAUSE they are funny at the same time they are teaching you the facts that you need to take good shots...or work an Adobe program. I'm just a serious amateur, but I've shot some events that are important to friends and the information in this book was valuable.

Digital Photography
I read the book not once but twice and found Scott's presentations very short and concise. Each page of the book has an item of interest with a very informative narration. I would recommend this book to anyone starting the love of photography.
